Also late to the party, but I thought it may be insightful to add that Boreham had been officially or unofficially (I never knew) engineering Roger Taylor's cars plus others. They were certainly heavily involved in running Roger's cars in their various guises.
In fact, Roger's Mk1 Escort used in Special Saloons was one of, if not the earliest Escorts to hit the tracks in the 60s. And it was certainly a wonder to behold when compared to the cars most of us were running at the time. And to the best of my knowledge it had been developed by Bert Avard and his band of merry men at Boreham. I never saw underneath the car, but it was highly sophisticated under the bonnet.
My point in this rambling is that Bert was a damned good engineer.
